Is it sexist to call a woman "snippy"?

I was called that and can't think of when a man was called that term.

Mostly my brother, who is occasionally inclined to snippiness.

I have also called a man a drama Queen. I’ve said lots of things I have no inclination to take back!

I have called my wife "snippy" before, but she was in a bad mood and took it out on me. She is better educated than me and most of the time reacts better emotionally to issues than myself. I still reserve the right to have candid conversations with her and she has the same right with me.
